I have a Unity Atom HE, used for main listening, running the latest firmware (3.8.1 build 5437).
I was fiddling around with my Amazon Fire tablet, wishing to get two pairs of Airpods connected at the same time. It wouldn’t work, so I bought a Bluetooth transmitter that pops into the USB C slot and claimed to be capable of connecting to two devices simultaneously. It was, but not in the way I expected.
Both sets of Airpods paired, but the sound only came through one set. The confusion came when I could hear the tablet’s output playing through my Atom at the same time as it played through one set of Airpods…
Now, I haven’t paired the Atom with anything but, more than that, I have disabled the Bluetooth input. Despite that, the transmitter is making a Bluetooth connection to the Atom (the app shows that it’s the Bluetooth input that is active and has “connected device” or similar term).
It won’t be a continuing issue as the transmitter will be returned, as it steadfastly refuses to connect to the two sets of Airpods (I found a different one that does, and which doesn’t force itself on to the Atom).
The question is, if I have specifically disabled Bluetooth as an input, why would the transmitter be capable of forcing itself on to the Atom and over-riding my user decision?
Just to add, I also have two Muso Qb2s, neither of which were interfered with in this shenanigan.
